i ordered two weapons from shapeways in anticipation of the super7 figures here in a few months, the anti eternia rune sword, and 200x katana both from evil mike. stoked about those getting here and getting them painted. i ended up not pulling the trigger on any on sale matty product, too many other things to do. toywise, i've got the predator clan leader and darkseid/grail two pack waiting in my bbts pile of loot for the arrival of the marvel select destroyer armor, and those are likely all i'm buying this year aside from the mythic legions 20 kickstarter that goes up supposedly this month. no more toys on the horizon for me, and a sell off coming later this year. it'll be nice to lighten that load. i was trying to get that done before the holiday season picked up, but life diverted my energies about 6 ways from sunday this year.

We're *DONE* with Matty, so no more monthly asshole tax. I didn't pre-order any of the Super7 figures, but I may try for He-Man and Skeletor, and possibly that Faker. I'm on the fence about the new MP Megatron, he looks gorgeous. I'm just deciding how badly I need/want him. Otherwise I don't have any toys in my sights and I'm FINE with that.

I don't like the new MP Megatron. He's just so flat and cartoony. If he were shinier, and released a couple of years ago, I might've pulled the trigger, but it's too little, too late. I have MP-05, and that's that. I really dislike that the Masterpiece line, meant to be the absolute pinnacle of TransFormers, has taken a turn to LESS-detailed, cartoony looks. Once Dirge is in the bank, I think that's pretty much it for me. Even Inferno, one of only two TransFormers I ever had as a kid, didn't do anything for me in Masterpiece form. And even with the Seekers, the Coneheads are something of a letdown so far. They don't fit together as well as the standard Seekers, and a lot of compromises were made along the way, leading to a product that shouldn't cost as much as it does.

The only other things I have plans for is any Super 7 MOTUC-style stuff, Titans Return Overlord, and Trypticon.

Once those are in the bag, I may turn to Shapeways and ReproLabels, but that's down to what my Beloved says, now.

I agree about the MP line. It definitely seemed to take a turn at some point if you compare the early figures compared to now. I think the figures are for the most part overpriced. Even for the cars, like the TRU Bumblebee, I just couldn't make myself pay $65 for such a little toy.

I have MP-05, which has actually been boxed up and in storage for at least two or three years at this point. Maybe that is enough for now at least. I might not necessarily need a counterpart to my TRU MP10.
